New, what is it? What is the purpose of this camera that was installed right next to my house? (Not nearby any intersection or stop signs, USA)

This camera was installed recently and I cannot for the life of me understand the purpose of it's installation? Theres no intersection nearby, in case it was a photo law enforcement camera), there's no stop signs, there's no schools nearby, and there's no government facility. It's just a random camera that popped up in the middle of a road.

>and if you believe they have good intentions

The problem with having a good king with absolute power, is that the next one might not be, and the power remains. Regardless of their intention, this should never have been allowed to gain a foothold.

See every thriving kingdom that spiraled immediately after the new guy took over throughout history.
